The 22nd annual Innovations in Medical Education Conference will be a 100% online event in 2025. This format supports the expansion of a global network of innovative health care educators. An online conference eliminates travel expenses and accommodates any travel restrictions.
The conference is an excellent opportunity to join a growing community of learners, teachers, scholars, and leaders from around the world working together to promote change through innovation in health professions education. Our goal is to move education in the health professions toward a higher level of excellence and well-being by providing a forum for sharing new ideas and educational innovations.
Join us online from anywhere in the world! The 2025 IME Online Conference is seeking abstract submissions in the following categories:
- Interactive skill-building workshops
- Innovations and completed research projects (must have data)
- Cool Ideas and works-in-progress (without data)
The planning committee will consider all content areas intended to promote or assess learning at any level (pre-health, undergraduate, graduate, practitioner, faculty).
